Vanilla is a brash, loudmouthed black marketeer whose connections in Uoodo City often make him a valuable source of information. After joining forces with Gotho and being drawn into Chirico&#039;s ongoing battle, he turns out to be a decent fighter himself, and even consents to join the mercenary army in Kummen when the guerrilla war escalates. Vanilla&#039;s enthusiasm and over-eagerness make him a volatile companion, but he usually comes through for those who depend on him. His piloting skills suggest past involvement with the military.

A century of bloodshed between warring star systems has plunged nearly 200 worlds into the flames of war. Now, an uneasy truce has settled across the Astragius Galaxy... 
Chirico Cuvie, a special forces powered-armor pilot is suddenly transferred into a unit engaged in a secret and highly illegal mission to steal military secrets - from their own military! Now he's on the run...from his own army! 
Unsure of his loyalties and to cover their own tracks, Chirico is left behind to die in space. Surviving by luck, the renegade is now hunted by both the conspirators and military intelligence. 
He is driven by the haunting image of a mysterious and beautiful woman - the objective of their mission, and his sole clue to unraveling their treacherous scheme. But the conspirators will do anything to preserve their mysterious agenda...

Released in 1985, this OVA tells a critical part of the story between the TV show's Uoodo and Kummen arcs. Although the TV series covered the Red Shoulders in some detail, we didn't get to see much of Chirico's time there or the people involved, and we get both of those here.

Big Battle is a one-shot OVA set after the climax of the original Votoms storyline, but before the epilogue at the end of the series itself. With the Gilgamesh and Balarant forces still trying to advance their PS programs, Chirico and his old friends are forced into one last gladiatorial battle against a special PS and a formidable land battleship.

Chirico visits an oasis town and meets Gotho and his friends for the first time in 32 years.

For their silver anniversary, Vanilla and Coconna return to Uoodo along with Gotho in the hopes of reuniting with Chirico. Once there they find a red shouldered AT at the Battling arena.
